That which does not kill us...

...makes us stronger, or at the very least clinically insane. My long journey through infertility, adoption (and now parenting), and weight loss.

Body type quiz

Following in the footsteps of Kimba and Mia, I decided to take the body type quiz.

Here are my results:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your score is 1.83

Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be careful not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.

A naturally fit body, say what? Now I feel even crappier because I always thought that I was destined to be large with a large frame, etc. But even with my honest answers (about being chubby as a kid, having large bone structure, etc.), it says that it shouldn't be too big of a deal to stay fit. By the looks of it, I definitely need to incorporate more strength training into my routine.

I just got the taxes from the accountant, so I guess I know where some of that refund is going: to more home gym equipment, especially the Bowflex selectech dumbbells. So much for the new wardrobe, lol.
